Xylem Lowara e-HM series multistage pump

Xylem has launched the Lowara e-HM series - a range of stainless steel, horizontal, multistage pumps, designed for commercial, industrial and residential applications. With good performance and efficiency characteristics, the pump is based on the same innovative hydraulic design as the vertical multistage e-SV series and has the ability to improve energy efficiency in applications by 15-20% - lowering life cycle costs and increasing energy savings.

The modularity of the range will be of benefit to the industrial end user as well as OEMs and residential users due to the range of configurations available to users. The pump can be adapted to meet an extensive range of applications such as chillers, heating, air-conditioning units, washing and cleaning, water treatment, water supply, hot and cold liquid circulation, pressure boosting and aggressive liquids.

Available in two designs, the one-piece e-HM pump requires no welding and is suitable for low pressure and flow, and the sleeve design version is suitable for high flow and pressure.

The pump also provides end users with an improved ‘total cost of ownership’ as it has an average operational time of at least 20,000 h in normal conditions. The pump has a flow of up to 29 m³/h and can perform to a maximum pressure of 16 bars.

The company says, due to the high-grade stainless steel used, the pump will have WRAS/ACS/AS4020/NSF61 approvals and can be used to pump potable water while providing good corrosion resistance. It is also claimed to meet a wide range of design, quality and motor efficiency standards, including: UL/CSA, KEMCO, Australian MEPS and IMQ approvals and certifications.

Available in a range of material options such as SS AISI 304 and SS AISI 316 and electropolished and passivated AISI 316 stainless steel, the pump can also be fitted with EPDM rubber, FPM rubber and Karlez O-rings, as well as carbon, ceramic and silicon carbide mechanical seals.
